When I was 5 years old my father inserted mashed chillies into my genitals and burned my eyes with a flaming torch.’ Life Behind the Silence is a heartbreaking and inspiring autobiography which gives hope to children and women who have been abused.

Is There Bacon in Heaven?
Author: Ali Hassan
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1982149183
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
For fans of Russell Peters, Trevor Noah, and Mark Critch comes a hilarious debut memoir about family, pursuing our passions, and figuring out who we are, by stand-up comedian and popular CBC host, Ali Hassan. Growing up, Ali Hassan was a chameleon. His friends came from many different backgrounds and religions—Trinidadian, Parsi, Goan, Hindu, Christian, Sikh. And as a hockey-playing, Crock-Pot–using young man who also knew the words to at least ten Blue Rodeo songs, he could blend in everywhere. But the world has a funny way of reminding you who you are, and Hassan’s Muslim Pakistani family and community did, too. In this heartfelt and funny memoir, based on his hit stand-up comedy, Hassan shares his lifelong journey to becoming a “cultural Muslim”—learning to walk the line of embracing his heritage while following his passions and being true to himself. From failing to learn Arabic—or much of anything—in Sunday school and visiting family in Pakistan who mocked him relentlessly, to discovering the wonders of pepperoni as a teenager and being a celebrity judge at Ribfest, he finds himself in compromising situations that challenge his beliefs and identity. Now, as a father of four, he has to answer his children’s questions and try to explain his point of view. But he can’t just “give them” an identity as a cultural Muslim. Sharing his story is the next best thing. With the perfect blend of humour and insight, Is There Bacon in Heaven? explores the deep need to belong that exists in everyone.

Teen Voices from the Holy Land
Author: Mahmoud Watad
Publisher: Prometheus Books
ISBN: 1615926518
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 221
Book Description
This is a book about hope. We really can have peace in the Middle East one day. Daniel says it best: 'If children had been in charge of their countries, things would not have happened the way they did. Children know how to get along with one another despite everything.' As we pass our world along to the next generation, I know they will do better than we have in the peacemakng process.-HOWARD DEAN, Former Governor of VermontCongratulations to Professors Watad and Grob for compiling the articulate Teen Voices from the Holy Land. May the decision-makers hear them! We are inspired by the honesty and the promise of youth. These Israeli and Palestinian teenagers share with us a collective dream of human beings resolving our differences, no matter how difficult, in a civilized manner consistent with the meaning of Holy Land.-LINCOLN CHAFEE, Former US Senator from Rhode IslandA peaceful, long-lasting resolution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict may never be found until both sides learn to see each other, not as the enemy, but as fellow human beings. Teen Voices from the Holy Land takes a creative approach toward reaching greater understanding between two peoples who have known little but mutual hostility and suspicion for over fifty years.Based on interviews of thirty-four Palestinian and Israeli teenagers, this uplifting book presents candid, first-person narratives of their day-to-day lives. These young people describe their ordinary lives, including their interests, facts about their families, friendships, and neighborhoods, as well as their spiritual concerns and dreams for the future. Photographs of the youngsters accompany the narratives, and together both picture and story offer a revealing glimpse into the common humanity that Palestinians and Israelis share.A striking aspect of these stories is the depth of understanding and the brutal honesty exhibited. One teen exclaims, If children had been in charge of managing their countries, things would not have happened the way they did. Children know how to get along with one another, despite everything. Another says, A person should be loyal to his principles, but there's something more important which he has to do: He must be ready to criticize his own views. Everyone interviewed expresses the hope that they will someday live in peace with others in the region.The voices that speak movingly from these pages offer many insights into the perceptions and feelings of young people in this strife-torn area of the world. They hold out the hope that the shared dream of peace may eventually overcome the differences that now divide the two sides.Mahmoud Watad, Ph.D. (Salisbury Mills, NY), is associate professor of management at the College of Business Administration of William Paterson University.Leonard Grob, Ph.D. (Stony Point, NY), is professor of philosophy at Fairleigh Dickinson University.

Self-helpless
Author: Rebecca Davis
Publisher: Pan Macmillan South africa
ISBN: 1770106030
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 197
Book Description
Everywhere Rebecca Davis looked, the world was in poor shape. And because she’d quit drinking, she no longer had the comfort blanket of alcohol to tamp down her anxiety. How did sober people stay sane? In recent times, the self-help industry has exploded into a multi-billion dollar global industry – and along with it has come every imaginable type of therapy, healing or general woo-woo. In the past, Rebecca scoffed at this industry, mocking its reliance on half-baked science and the way it appears to prey on the mentally fragile. But as she searched for a meaning of life that did not involve booze, she found it increasingly hard to rationalize her default scepticism. This shit really seems to work for some people, she reasoned. And it’s not like I have any particularly solid alternatives. Rebecca lives in Cape Town, the undisputed epicentre of ‘alternative’ paths to peace and enlightenment in South Africa. She decided that over the course of a year, she would embark on a quest for personal wellness, spiritual enlightenment and good old-fashioned happiness. She was willing, within reason, to try anything. She would open herself to even the most outlandish contemporary fads in self-improvement. What followed was a twelve-month immersion in the world of auras, chakras, hallucinogenic drugs, sweat lodges, sangomas, past lives and more. And by the end of it? Maybe she would find some new ways of thinking and living. Or maybe she would emerge with her prejudices untouched. Either way, it would be a good story.
